Can I Take Medication With My Herbs?

Title: Can I Take Medication With My Herbs? URL: https://www.dherbs.com/articles/wellness-prevention/can-i-take-medication-with-my-herbs/

Many people are concerned about mixing medications and herbs.

DHerbs recommends the use of herbs, not pharmaceutical drugs. Prescription medications are often poisonous and toxic to one’s health. Since a pharmaceutical drug is a toxin, it pollutes the bloodstream and taxes the largest internal organ of elimination in the body, the liver.

Benefits of Herbs

On the other hand, herbs are natural.

Herbs are designed to cleanse and purify the human body. Just like the human body, herbs are carbon and copper-based. However, this is not the case with pharmaceutical products. Herbs cleanse every toxin or pollutant in the body. There are specific herbs that do this especially well. These include:

Yellow Dock Root

Burdock Root

Dandelion Root

Sassafras

Sarsaparilla

Chickweed

Celedine

Goldenseal

Echinacea

Manjistha

Herbs and Medicine

Combining pharmaceutical drugs and herbs reduces the herbs’ influence and effectiveness. They will counteract each other and will not have the same effect as if you were to take them alone. The herbs that are found in DHerbs’ Full Body Detox counteract the toxins in pharmaceutical drugs.

Can you take your medication while taking the herbs? Yes, but it defeats the purpose of detoxifying in the first place. Simultaneously taking herbs and medication while detoxifying is cleansing and polluting at the same time. It isn’t an effective way to improve one’s health.

If the label on the medicine warns accidental overdose, then the medicine is toxic. If it is necessary to contact a poison control center after consumption of the product, then is shouldn’t be used. Remember, prescription drugs are far more dangerous than herbal remedies.

Generally speaking, Western medicine masks the problem rather than solves it. Most pharmaceutical drugs only provide a limited, short-term relief.

Taking a medication and herbs at the same time will allow the herbs to target the medication. Herbs work and serve to cleanse the body and help remove disease or pathology. On the other hand, a pharmaceutical drug will only mask and prolong the problem.

These herbs have are known to interact with certain prescription drugs:

Ginkgo

Garlic

Licorice Root

Kava

Asian Ginseng

St. John’s Wort

Dangers

Herbs and drugs shouldn’t be taken together because it defeats the purpose of using herbs. In addition to being less effective, mixing herbs and prescription drugs can be dangerous and should be done with much caution.

For instance, drugs that are used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes should not be combined with herbs that increase blood pressure. Some common herbs known to increase blood pressure are ginseng, ephedra and Ma Huang.

When used as directed, herbal supplements are safe and should not cause any serious side effects. Herbal supplements contain compounds that are biologically active.

Even though these herbs come from natural sources, they should not be considered safe just because they are sold over the counter. In fact, there are many herbal supplements that are manufactured with unnatural ingredients and toxic fillers.

Determine whether the herbal product is organic or inorganic before deciding if it is safe.

Alternatives

Herbs provide the power to self-heal. With drugs, healing is not involved, only relief. Relief does not heal-it’s palliative. Many Americans are too concerned about the temporary relief rather than curing or healing.

Most Americans choose to eat and live unhealthily and take drugs to mask the effects of their poor diet. They prefer a short-term relief rather than a long-term lifestyle change. If they chose to adapt to a healthy diet and lifestyle, they would experience relief in the form of healing.

I have recently had an abnormal pap smear due to HPV and take lysine because of cold sores around mouth area (had problem since a little girl w/these). I am 27 on medication for bipolar schizoaffective disorder, which causes fatigue, dementia, and more. I'm looking for an alternate way to cope and heal the body. I've tried the master cleanse, I fast, and have changed to a healthier diet. I also take B- complex vitamins and drink herbal teas. I would like to try some of your products that would help to heal my conditions.

Q: I am very much aware of herbs ayurvedic and regular from a child. What makes your product lets say for the lymph and blood work better than another brand. Lets say it has the same key ingredients that is specifically for lymph and blood. Why would you need 25 herbs in a blend opposed to just the main 3 for the specific organ or purpose. I am so tired of trying everything, and want to be on a trusted regimen. I already prepared oppose to me buying each herb single and mixing it myself. My goal as a healer is to be well rounded in all the blending of herbs for specific uses. The best place to start the healing process is within yourself and I have been curious about Dherbs.

A:

I mean, why only use the top 3 herbs available when so many other good herbs (i.e. alterative herbs, which are good for the blood) exist and are available? Why shortchange the people? Why not be
unique? Why not give people the best BLOOD herbs from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Native American Medicine, Traditional African Medicine, Traditional European Medicine, etc.? If you take
the best herbs from around the world and use in your formulations and compounds, it makes a statement that your products are indeed truly for humanity. Who else is doing this? Who else even thinks
like this? Our formulas contain many exotic herbs that are very expensive (for other herbalists and manufacturers) and we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to get and provide the BEST for the
people (customer), especially if those exotic herbs are available and not curtailed by government regulations (which many are). And in addition to above, providing these unique herbal formulations
and compounds for a very economical and reasonable cost. To be the BEST formula, the formula would have to contain the BEST organ-gland specific herbs from around the world. Now THIS, is what makes
Dherbs.com unique, at least in my opinion. However, the products speak for themselves. We are the BEST and provide the BEST!

Q: My aunt keeps returning to the emergency room because she can't breath. Each time I try to get her started on herbs (she's a diabetic, now on dialysis because a medication ruined her kidney - she wouldn't listen to me about herbs over the years) she somehow ends up in the hospital because she can't breath. I don't believe that it's the herbs (the four you recommend for diabetics). What can I do to help her clear up this problem so she won't end up at the hospital again? I'm afraid that she is going to blame it on the herbs, and she won't want to try anything anymore after today.

A:

Flush her out with plenty of water. Have her drink herbal tea of Mullein Leaf, Boneset, and/or Fenugreek. You know, it sounds like the medication has really attacked her lungs. Also sounds like
her eliminative channels are very, very weak! She should eat only raw fruits and vegetables and consume herbal tea to remove the obstruction that is preventing her from breathing. You know, Beloved,
if she is afraid of herbs and not drugs she has the wrong mindset. Fear is negative and shuts down healing. Sometimes, there's only so much you can do to help a person. Some people have made up minds
that they can't or won't heal and so there's really nothing you can do to help them.

Q: I am going to do the full body cleanse and I am a kidney patient on dialysis. I wanted to know if my current medications will hurt me if mix the herbs with them. I currently take clonidine for blood pressure, finasteride for enlarge prostate, metoprolol for blood pressure, diovan for kidney health, dialyvite for blood pressure, and sprionolactone for blood pressure. Do I take the herbs with my meds or in opposite times of the day? I will adhere to your past recommendations and I look forward to the response to these two questions.

Q: I purchased 100.00 in organic herbs. Chapparal leaf, poke weed, psyllium husk powder, Pau d'Arco Bark. I purchased these herbs because my husband exposed me to the virus. I did not want to use traditional drugs to kill the virus. The only symptoms I have is the crescent moon under my eyes. I am 61 years old. My husband is African and refuses to use protection to prevent illness. Are they safe in small quantities?

Q: I am on Medication/Prescription Drugs Do you recomend that I stop taking the anti viral drugs that my doctor have me on, while using the FULL BODY DETOX.

A:

Answer: This is a personal decision and choice you have to make for yourself. Common Sense would dictate that if drugs cannot heal the human body (and they canâ€™t) and one truly
desires to heal, then one would not take that which is contrary to healing. Drugs mask symptoms and do not heal symptom or the cause of the symptom. So why are you taking drugs? Because your doctor
said so? Well, what does your body say? What does your gut feeling (instinct) say? Follow your intution!
